Bonus question of the day: What would cause a 1911 pattern pistol to fail (just barely) to go into battery after the third round, every other time or so, on the same magazine? (Third "Bang!" and then a light tap on the rear of the slide to jar it that extra 1/16th or so of an inch.) I was thinking my locking cuts were just dirty or something but it was always the fourth round out of the magazine (essentially brand new Wilson ETM.)

Is this the end of rumors and name-calling? Doubtful. I'm sure there's still plenty of fanboys that are all sorts of butt-hurt over the decision, but I'm going to stick to my original call that the Mk16 simply does not show enough of a performance-to-price difference compared to the M16 family.
